On most sites on the network, it takes six red flags (spam or rude) to delete a question or answer. In December 2016, two sites that were getting a lot of spam had the threshold lowered from six to three. Ours is one of them.
A few things have changed since then:
Our spam levels are no longe...
@tripleee That pattern looks like it's already caught by Potentially bad keyword in body and Potentially bad keyword in answer; append -force if you really want to do that.
@ProcessedMeat if ELU is no longer at three spam votes, do we need code changes?
and weren't there other sites which had a reduced threshold than these two?
oh, done already
FYI, all: I've bumped Charcoal autoflagging back up to the default 4 flags on this site, as opposed to the 1 it was set to while you only needed 3 flags to delete a post. — ArtOfCode8 hours ago

I guess #chinese-manufacturer needlessly pins down the nationality, how about #industrial-manufacturer? but then not all of them are necessarily industrial ...

@SmokeDetector user has two answers that seem to be identical. They both have a (stuffed up) link to a fiverr page, and given the post text, they're presumably trying to promote their services. The answers don't contain any useful information.

@SmokeDetector do we have guidance on this recurring anti-pattern? the same user has been linking to another discussion forum in their answers -- should we just remove the link?
@SmokeDetector when I first read that username and question, it seemed like iphone selling spam, but after properly reading the post it seems to be a legit question. It has been closed as off-topic by 3 users on site, rather than being deleted. The username is still questionable though.

@iBug ^ can you make any sense of that? do you have a weird default encoding?
("weird" as in "not plain old 8-bit or UTF-8 as that's what I'm most familiar with"; I don't mean to say other encodings are more haphazard than the ones we all know and love)
@SmokeDetector I'm going to give this one good faith for now; the answer does (sorta almost) answer the question, and the username doesn't match up with the blog author.
